Outcomes 2019 - Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital BSWHHVH_646_2019 Outcomes JOOMAG MOD | Page 51

Late in fiscal year 2018 as a result of a thorough
analysis for cardiovascular volumes and
projections, a sizeable expansion project
was completed to add a new unit and
increase the number of patient beds on the
fifth floor of Building A on the campus of
Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center
- Fort Worth. The addition of 25,816 square feet
provided more rooms staffed with critical care
nurses experienced in the care and treatment of
cardiology patients. The sixth floor of Building A
continues to house cardiac catheterization and
electrophysiology labs, including a hybrid lab, as
well as pre- and post-procedure rooms, non-
invasive services, Valve Disorders Center, and
Heart Rhythm Center.
“The services and care provided in 2019 by Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital - Fort Worth
continued to bring tremendous benefit to the residents of Fort Worth, Tarrant County and the surrounding
area. We experienced strong support from the medical community as the hospital’s cardiovascular
services built on our reputation for excellence. All major services including cardiac catheterizations and
percutaneous interventions, electrophysiology procedures, transcatheter valve procedures, cardiothoracic
surgery, and cardiac rehabilitation experienced increased volumes. The hospital continued to offer the only
comprehensive structural heart program in Tarrant County. As a result, patients with complex cardiovascular
diseases were able to access specialized diagnostic and treatment options from our physicians on the
hospital’s medical staff. We expanded our research portfolio by bringing new clinical trials to the Fort Worth
campus in fiscal year 2019. The hospital’s commitment to quality was demonstrated through recognition
from the Joint Commission Chest Pain Certification, American College of Cardiology’s NCDR Chest Pain
- MI Registry Silver Performance Achievement Award, and more. And U.S. News & World Report rated the
Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center as one of the top Hospitals in DFW, and our Congestive Heart
Failure program as High Performing for 2019-20. We are honored that physicians trust us with their patients
and look forward to continuing to help improve the lives of patients who come to us for cardiac care.”
